C. Bechstein – The Sound of Excellence

Product development is continuing with the same intensity as in recent years. The novel C. Bechstein grand pianos feature still greater capacity for tone - sustain and modulation. These instruments of the masterpiece class offer the pianist improved finesse as well as a more professional touch and sound.

C. Bechstein achieved a further improvement of the “membrane system soundboard” in 2011: the physical connections between the board, the ribs and the bridge are now more elastic, and the registers are even better balanced. Furthermore, the resonant characteristics of the acoustic body have been more precisely harmonised. The C. Bechstein specialists consulted experienced pianists and used state-of-the-art engineering to develop and test specific optimisations which were then integrated in the acoustic assembly manufacturing process.
